to be worth recounting. The French
mans object was to smuggIe petro-

octroi. To this end he established
storehouses in the suburbs and then
hiring all the. leanest and least mann
nnalian women that could be found,
he made good all their physical de-

Eleum, thus giving them what DR.. John

blasphe,ned the unwise parsimony Of
nature in denying to women in general
the nultitudinous breasts displayed
by certain Hindo idols. For some
time these seemingly milky mothers
passed without question INTO the un-

worse than none. Meanwhile M. Four

SOCIAL HAPPENINGS.

One of the most pleasant parties given on
the East side this season took place Friday
evening, when some sixty friends of Miss
Abbie Gormely surprised her at her home on
Second street northeast. The party met at
the home of Miss Nellie Mccarthy and pro-
ceeded from there to Miss Gormely's. AL
though taken completely by surprise, Miss
Gormely was fully equal to the occasion, and
in few moments the large company was
comfortably Installed. Dancing was the order
of the evening, and it was long after mid
night when the party broke UP. Refresh
ments were served about IL o'clock. The
originators of the party were Miss Mollie Nc
Carthy, Miss Mamie Kennedy and Miss Aggie,
and it was due to their careful management
that no hitch occurred in the whole proceed
ing.
The Tam O'Shanter club held its weekly
meeting Friday evening at 2lS South Eighth
street. r. S. Robbins gave a reading from
''The Sioux Chiefs Daughter" by Joaquin
Miller; r. J. Nesbitt read an essay on Ire
land-Its Evils, Their Causes and Cure" The
essay proved to be very interesting, and the
discussion was more than interesting. Nor

MINNEAPOLIS SOCIETY.

Socially the signs of summer begin to ap-
pear. The post-Lenten season is always short
and always variable. Should the cold weather
continue late, parties and dances may be en-
joyed till June, but at the earliest possible
moment the ladies don pretty afternoon
dresses and seek their recreation on the lawn.
The rains of the past week have given indoor
amusementS an extra lease of life, but with
May Will come sunshine, and no one who has
spent twelve-month in Minnesota needs but
little encouragement to make dancing intol-
cradle.
There have been several very pleasant
social events during the week just passed.
Notable among these may be mentioned Mrs.
Courtlandt Babcock's reception, Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank l.. Stetson's tenth wedding ami
versary and Prof. Malcolm's ninth annual re-
ception to his adult classes. Prof. Macolms
reception was an especially enjoyable dane
ing party, and closed the season of the dane
ing academy. This was one of the social
signs of summer referred to in the last para
graph. Another the first migration ito Min
netonka, which will occur the coming Tues
day.
Two years ago lady and gentleman went
to Minnetonka about the LIST Of May to choose
site for a summer cottage, which was
erected during that season. Phey were so
charmed by the early spring beauty of the
lake and its wooded shores that they then
determined to spend every subsequent May
at their summer home. There is a beauty in
the budding of trees, the blooming of spring
flowers and the first notes of tine returning
birds, which the most prosaic soul cannot
ignore. The effect on the mind is indefinable,
but always pleasant, and these pioneers of the
summer immigrants will find a world of
pleasure during the bright May days. pleas
ure none the less because enjoyed in solitude,
~
'Tis the welcome April showers, which will
make the sweet May flowers" So runs an
old school song, and the promise it expresses
has made the rains of the past week bearable.
Every engagement that was made the past
week has had coupled with it the provso, ''if
it don't rain" Let US hope that sunshine
will rule the next seven days, and if it does
so the woods will be all bright with
wild flowers and the swamps will
be golden with marsh.marigolds. The
spring flowers of Minnesota are very delicate
and beautiful. Already the little anemonies,
showing every tint from white to deep pink,
have appeared in sunny woodlands. Blood
roots show their pure white, starry flowers;
isopyrum, one of the most delcately lovely Of
all spring flowers, abounds Even the violets
are beginning to show their pretty blue bios
sons, and soon will come the yellow bells and
columbine and fern. These are the days,
when the sun shines brightly, to go to the
woods.
